Neymar believes Liverpool’s 22 year old Philippe Coutinho, who is enjoying great form at the moment, and celebrated his new five-year contract with the club by netting a sensational, late winner at Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup fourth round replay, can become Premier League’s biggest star.

The Barcelona attacker believes that Coutinho has the potential to fill Luis Suarez’s void, who left the Reds for Barcelona in the summer, and can be a creative force for creative void in Brendan Rodgers’ side.

He said, “I think since Luis joined us at Barcelona, Liverpool have not had that one player they can look to for that special moment. Couto can be that player for them I’m sure. When he has the ball at his feet, he can make things happen for himself and he can make things happen for other players. He is a very special player.”

Coutinho’s good form in 2014 earned him a recall to Dunga’s Brazil side, after he was left out of the World Cup side. The player has five caps for Brazil and Neymar said that the Liverpool player has a lot to give to the national side as well.

He added, “He will play a big part in the future of the national team. The national steam is very strong, but the way he is playing for Liverpool, I’m sure he will be a big part of Brazil going forward.”
